Chapter 154: Chapter 134 Pursuit

After retrieving the Lilia doll from the Space Ring, Lucien didn’t hurry to activate the wizard formation right away. Instead, he meticulously examined the Lilia doll, his gaze filled with a hint of reminiscence and a hint of caution.

She had once been his companion, and though their interaction had not been very pleasant, seeing her always reminded Lucien of how she had, due to her excessive use and pursuit of power, unwittingly fallen into a trap set by Helen the Wizard.

"Caution, caution, still caution..." Lucien took a deep breath, then carefully placed the Lilia doll inside the wizard formation.

Hum—

As the wizard formation was activated, Adeline’s constantly writhing body also began a rapid transformation, visibly "collapsing" at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This process was very peculiar, akin to a fleeting reflection on a bubble collapsing instantly; Adeline’s body burst like a bubble, transforming into a unique mist of pink and black-purple colors.

This mist quickly gathered again under the convergence of the wizard formation, which also connected with the Dream Layer, pulling the special powers from inside the Dream Layer into the wizard formation.

Under the special rules of the Dream Layer’s baptism, Adeline’s body almost instantly completed its gathering, but it rapidly shrank, eventually becoming the size of a playing card.

Whir whir whir—

Suddenly, this "playing card," at the moment it fully formed, split into seven uniform cards, and the special energy inside the wizard formation had already disappeared, everything returning to normal.

"Cards?" Lucien curiously picked up the seven cards, inspecting them closely in his hands.

The backs of the cards faced upwards, featuring a slowly rotating vortex that, if stared at for too long, seemed to draw in one’s spiritual power; the fronts, on the other hand, were each engraved with six of Adeline’s body parts and the Lilia doll.

What slightly surprised Lucien was that, when he changed the angle, the engravings of Adeline’s body and the Lilia doll on the fronts disappeared and were replaced by a blank space.

"Could it be..."

Lucien suddenly thought of a possibility, that this observational model of Adeline was not yet "complete," especially since around the cards, there was still a Helen the Wizard running around...

"According to you two-legged long-haired monsters, it now counts as a special, natural Witch Tool," Count Sanaxis said nonchalantly, looking at the cards in Lucien’s hands.

"However, unlike the Witch Tools you craft yourselves, a tool transformed from a nightmare creature, from the moment it’s successfully crafted, possesses certain unmodifiable rules. It cannot be refined, only used, even seeking its own ’master’."

Lucien curiously picked up the paper card, and through an indiscernible sensation, he quickly learned the effects of this natural Witch Tool.

Song of Adeline.

A summoning Witch Tool, gathering the seven cards together can summon Adeline/Lilia to complete a task for oneself, and after each use, the cards must absorb a person’s imagination. The cards can summon up to seven times.

"But actually, for me, it also has another function..." Lucien carefully tucked away the card, yet his eyes were flickering with an unusual light.

"It’s also a special cage, or rather, it’s the most restraining Witch Tool against Helen the Wizard. After all, with Adeline existing as a natural conduit, it’s almost impossible for Helen the Wizard to escape its seal using her own power, considering no one, no matter how powerful, could lift themselves up by themselves."

"As soon as she is assimilated by it, the identity of Helen Wizard will be reconstructed and all her power will become a part of this special Witch Tool..."

Lucien’s eyes flickered as he carefully stowed away the seven cards.

"Lucien, Lucien! There seems to be something unusual happening at the academy!" At that moment, Lucien heard Carly’s somewhat urgent voice coming from outside.

...

"It really is the Rampage Golden Ape!" Wizard Risa looked at the distant ape radiating its own aura freely, surrounded by a massive amount of golden thunder, a hint of fear in his eyes.

Although he was confident that the Rampage Golden Ape was not his match, as an experienced Formal Wizard, Risa knew when it was worthwhile to fight desperately and when to be cautious.

Like now, it was not worth his intervention; instead, he should report the situation and later join forces with several other Formal Wizards...

As Risa thought this, he slowly retreated.

But soon his spiritual power sensed an imminent danger.

"No!" Risa almost felt his hair stand on end, his body trembling slightly as he immediately cast a defensive witchcraft spell.

Boom-crack—

At that moment, a bolt of thunder struck down.

Risa’s defensive witchcraft spell shattered almost instantly, and if his body hadn’t twisted oddly, his heart would have been pierced by the thunder at that moment.

Even though he dodged a fatal injury, a dark-rimmed perforation still appeared on Risa’s chest.

Despite desperately trying to heal by twitching his muscles, he lacked Edison’s terrifying recovery ability, and his vitality began to wane.

"Second... Second-level Wizard!" Risa’s eyes filled with despair as he crushed a scroll without hesitation, his body transforming into a gust of wind as he began to flee toward the interior of Greybone Academy.

He knew how formidable a Second-level Wizard was and understood that relying on his own strength, he couldn’t confront one, let alone count the Rampage Golden Ape and possibly other Formal Wizards backing this adversary!

So, he needed to hide, to take refuge inside Greybone Academy, relying on the multiple wizard formations set up inside to withstand this terrifying enemy and even suggested to the other committee members to urgently summon the Dean back.

After all, only a Second-level Wizard could confront another Second-level Wizard!

"Madness, madness... Why would the Heart of the High Tower appear here? Isn’t he afraid of the Dean’s retaliation against his tower afterwards?" Risa lamented in his heart, all the while strenuously dodging the successive thunder strikes from behind.

"It’s too late!" Risa quickly realized he couldn’t make it back to the academy before being pursued by his enemy, so he quickly changed his route.

He had come out together with Helen Wizard, and as one of the strongest Formal Wizards at the Greybone Academy, Helen Wizard would surely be able to withstand longer than him, which might allow him his chance to escape!
